+1 i got the chance to hop on a 1000 recently and the power band on it was amazing....u can be in 5th gear going 40 mph and it will pulll away VERY nicely....
thats a nice bike..i got a 02 gsxr 600....that 1000 is a BIG stepp up in power from the other 2 bikes you have had...the older 750 and 600 are not even a match for the 2000+ years 600 fuel injected bikes...let alone a 1000...enjoy..stay safe...
